Naturally men on Twitter are telling the female writer that she's got it all wrong.

Anti-porn piece in my local paper

Then let me repeat -
"I'm not getting your point @hhh333hhh . That part of the article is quoting from 2012, ten years ago. Maybe the fashion for pubelessness has changed in those 10 years, I don't know."
You focused on one small point, dismissed it as untrue, and generalised that out to dismissing the entire article. It's a technique I've observed before, and it actually leads me to dismiss anything said by the dismisser.
The thrust of the article was that the ubiquity of porn is creating problems. If you're so willing to "discuss research into pornography and prostitution" then address it, instead of picking on one small detail and trying to drag attention away from what the entire article is talking about.

Regardless, you seem to be very focussed on pubes in porn, and nothing else.
When people stop telling lies then I will stop correcting them. If there is a myth that is obviously untrue then it has to be exposed as such. Have you heard the saying "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it". Sometimes attributed to Hitler and sometimes to Goebbels. Certain types of people have decided that they are going to believe it and they are going to keep saying it.
I am happy to discuss research into pornography and prostitution and I have done on other threads in Mumsnet.

From the article: "Writing in the Times Educational Supplement in 2012, teacher Chloe Combi said teenage boys in her class no longer realised pubic hair was a thing, since their reference point was pornography where the models are shaved and waxed to within an inch of their lives."
Anybody who has looked at pornography knows that pubic hair is common. If you don't believe me look for yourself, or if you don't want to look for yourself then read what Sara Pascoe has to say about it in her book Sex Power Money.
It' just simply untrue that teenage boys have never seen pubic hair. Obviously people are contradicting the author of this article. It is factually false. What is the matter with some people that they won't listen to reality because they think that means a man telling a woman "she's got it all wrong".
Who is it that you are trying to convince? You're not going to convince men or teenage boys. You're not going to convince half of women. You don't need to convince suburban bourgeois.
